Zine culture meets the pre-streaming era CD sleeve! Growing up in the 90s and early 00s, I remember what it was like to buy a CD and listen to the album front-to-back while reading the liner notes in the CD sleeve. I decided to combine my love for CD booklets with my fascination with zine-making to create a tangible experience to accompany the digital album IKOV.
I designed the 20-page 5.5 x 8.5 IKOV lyrics zine containing lyrics, images, and short reflective writing for every song on the album.
I hope you'll do like I used to do and listen to IKOV while reading the zine.

lyrics
I put them all on hold
I wrote your name in bold
Then I hung up the phone
Then I hit the studio
Poems at Vesuvio’s
My Vesuvio
I dreamt a loathsome dream
It sunk to the bottom of me
The world started to end
But you weren’t here with me
So tonight in the hours
I’ll be dreaming of home
There’s a killer outside
In a city full of cinder
It’s a pity to be tender on a night like this
We get carried away by a day so calloused
In the waking hours
We live inside a dream
In the witching hours
We love inside a shadow
I can feel me slipping away
Everyone that I used to be
